Why a Post-Fire Program?<\/h2>\n

The New Mexico Forestry Division (NMFD) Post\u2011Wildfire Program works to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Coordinate, carry out, and support post\u2011fire response on state and private lands.<\/li>\n
  2. Help Forestry Division Districts develop, implement, and improve post\u2011fire programs that provide direct assistance to landowners and partners.<\/li>\n
  3. Identify gaps in authorities, funding, and information to ensure coordinated post\u2011fire response across all lands and jurisdictions, protect lives and property, rebuild resilient infrastructure, and restore ecosystems after wildfires.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This page will be updated regularly to reflect ongoing programs and opportunities for post-wildfire restoration. Additional information on specific programs and general resources can be found below.<\/p>\n

    What Happens After a Wildfire?<\/h2>\n

    Large-scale, high severity wildfire is becoming increasingly common across New Mexico. \u00a0Wildfires alter soil and vegetation, increasing the risk of flooding and landslides. Burned areas reduce the land\u2019s ability to absorb rainfall \u2013 fire-hardened soil sheds water quickly, accelerating runoff and raising the likelihood of flash flooding and debris flows. These heightened risks remain until vegetation recovers, either through natural regeneration or with the assistance of landowners, communities, and natural resource management professionals.<\/p>\n
